Urology Research

KEY FINDING: Only control subjects displayed significant elevation of SBP during Foley catheter insertion compared to resting values.

KEY FINDING: 58.8% of participants reported bladder incontinence, 54.0% bowel incontinence, 60.8% sexual dysfunction, and 29.4% had all three.

KEY FINDING: A history of UTI within the past 4 weeks prior to the UDS was significantly associated with UTI occurrence after the UDS, even with prophylactic antibiotic therapy (p=0.006).

KEY FINDING: Electrical stimulation techniques, including pudendal nerve stimulation and high-frequency nerve block, show promise in controlling bladder function.

KEY FINDING: Urodynamic studies are crucial for precise neurological assessment in determining appropriate bladder management for patients with SCI.

KEY FINDING: The review identified ten objective and fourteen subjective QoL measures used in SCI research related to neurogenic bladder.

KEY FINDING: Nine of 23 patients met all four criteria for the primary endpoint (successful placement, low post-void residual volume, no device-related adverse events requiring early removal, and successful removal).

KEY FINDING: The study found a low overall rate of symptomatic UTIs (1.8%) among patients receiving botulinum toxin A injections for neurogenic bladder.

KEY FINDING: The study identified eight quality of life measures and 29 symptom-specific instruments related to neurogenic bladder.

KEY FINDING: Penile cleavage is a rare but significant complication of long-term indwelling catheter use in SCI patients with neurogenic bladder.
